The youngster revealed this after helping his side seal a historic victory that propelled the team from the suburb of Lagos into the elite stage of the community competition.
He went on to reveal the symbolic import of their achievement on everyone connected to the team and prayed that they would go even further in the prestigious contest.
“It means a lot to me, my teammates, the coach, and the technical crew,” Lawal confessed.
He added, “We have put in a lot of effort to get to this stage, Allahamdullahi. We thank God for this victory.
“I feel great. I feel so elated at this moment. A lot of teams came into this competition with the hope of progressing to the group stage, but they could not make it.
“The Bible says ‘many are called, but few are chosen.’
“I thank God that we are part of the few teams who are chosen by grace to qualify for the group stage.”
Lawal Babatunde and his teammates will now aim to go even further in order to have a feel of juicy prizes and cash at stake in the competition sponsored by 1XBet Limited.
